Kindle Notes & Highlights
And just like that, on the worst day of the year, I feel my lips tilt up in amusement.
“I can’t believe I just told a complete stranger that I have two tits.” “I would’ve been a lot more impressed if you said you had three.”
obsessed with him immediately
“Well, Kenny—” “No—” “Talk me through the job offer.”
hooooowwww does she hate him later i need to understand
“Isaiah, please.” Those two little words stop me in my tracks. My name. She sounds good saying my name.
“You’re a player?” “Shortstop.” I wink. Any sign of a previous smile is long gone, and her demeanor instantly shifts. I can physically feel the ice in the air around her. She’s shocked. Confused. A little bit pissed.
she hates him bc she wants himmmmm ofc
“I promised I’d make sure the other guys don’t give you a hard time, but I never said anything about me.” Her lips slightly part and I shoot her with another wink. “See you around, Doc.”
oh i’m sick
“So, who is she?” On this day, where everything feels like a sign, I don’t hesitate when I say, “My future wife.”
AHSKAHSKBAAK
There’s been only one woman who has held my interest and now that she’s no longer wearing another man’s engagement ring, spending my time with anyone else holds zero appeal.
he’s actually insane btw
Sure, she might act like she fucking hates me. I might purposefully drive her mad, but there are moments like this one where I’m the person she goes to.
sickkkkk.
But deep down, Kennedy trusts me.
MY Kennedy is here.
Fate happened.
And if you would’ve told me that the man she’s marrying is my ex-fiancé, I would’ve looked into having you committed.
WHAT
I liked it a whole lot better when you gave me those doe eyes inside and whispered ‘please.’”
crazy work
“Isaiah, this isn’t your shot. It’s just a drink.”
okay he knows that she can’t fuck around with anyone on the team or she’ll get fired i feellllll like he should know better
“I should warn you, Ken, I like it when you’re mean. It does something to me.”
Kennedy tossed her heels in a trash can on the strip, and I noted the red bottoms on those while I was carrying them, so I made sure to pull them right back out from the bin. Sober her would be pissed she threw away such expensive shoes.
only man ever btw. him noting the red bottoms despite not even seeing red. yeah
“What the hell did you do?”
OH DONT START
“Isaiah Rhodes.” “Kennedy Rhodes,” I mimic.
I SCREAMED
“Does this mean the honeymoon phase is over already?” “I hate you!” “See you at home, wifey!”
STOP
I’m in my white dress,
her wearing white was a blessing in disguise
If we do this, I’m basically using you.” “Sounds terrible. Please, Kennedy, use me all you want.”
“C’mon wife. Play along.”
roll the credits!!!
In the same way Max was sent for us, I’ve had the same belief about my new wife.
crazy work
“Are you still mad at me?” Hesitating, I think it over. “Kind of hard to be mad at you when you just agreed to be my wife.”
i’m insane
“Did you want my attention that night, Kenny?” She chuckles into the phone. “Good night, Isaiah.”
“Hi, wifey.”
he’s just standing there, hands in his pockets and a shit-eating grin on his face.
Watching Kennedy scarf down the sandwich I made her gave me an instant hard-on.
oh!
I’ll probably snuggle you so hard you won’t be able to breathe anyway.”
My better half, she forgot hers.”
“A run to the drugstore doesn’t qualify as plans.” “It does to me.” He holds the door open for me. “C’mon, Kenny, let’s go be domestic.”
he is sooooo
“Red. You like red, right?” “This is orange.” “Oh.” His cheeks tinge pink. “My bad.”
is he colorblind? this is like the 4th time he’s messed up the color red
“Isaiah, are you colorblind?” His smile is sheepish as he rocks back on his heels. “Yeah.”
oh
His brown eyes widen. Here we go. This should dispel those supposed feelings he has real quick.
like he’s gonna blame you for being neglected?
Do I want to be touched?
“Yes.”
“By me?” “Yes.”
“Was it because of me? Is that why you married her? You took our rivalry a little far with that one, Rhodes.”
he said “so tell me everything is not about me. BUT WHAT IF IT IS?” (it’s not)
“You want me to call you a good boy?” “Mmm, yes, please. Preferably while we’re naked and you’re on top of me, but now would do too.” That smile I’m quickly becoming addicted to blooms. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
CRAZYYYY
Suddenly, Rio’s dark hair and goofy grin take over my phone. “I thought this was girls’ night?” His eyes narrow in confusion. “It is.”
he’s just one of the girls!!!
“You look like you’re going to say something a little bit evil, break my heart, and I’ll end up thanking you for it.”
“Mmm.” This time it’s me purring at her words. “Such an agreeable wife.”
crazyyy work brother
Kennedy is stiff in her seat next to me so I gently drape my arm on the back of her chair, fingertips toying with the strap of her dress.
I try to distract her by brushing my fingertips along the top of her shoulder, dusting the back of her neck.
“More like the best three years of your life,” she corrects.
die. die die die.
“Excuse me?” I stand from my seat. “Watch your fucking words when you’re speaking to my wife.”
BARK BARK BARK
She presses her lips to mine.
“The real nice place you had in mind is Chili’s.”
We’re already trying to convince others of our fake marriage, so I don’t see why it would need to stop behind closed doors.”
isaiah knows he’s signing himself up for heartbreak this is so rough. this third act breakup is gonna put me in a fucking coma
